The Goa Marathon is an event held every year to bring attention to, and provide homes and hope for, disadvantaged children. Runners of all abilities can take part, from beginners to experienced athletes and walkers. Money raised from this event will be used to bring joy and hope to the underprivileged children of Goa, supported by the El Shaddai Charitable Trust. Participants are also encouraged to ask for pledges, either in person or online, by creating a fundraising page on Raise Pledge for the Goa Marathon.
